A case was registered against singer Aloshi Adams and members of a temple advisory committee for singing “revolutionary songs” glorifying the CPI(M) during a recent temple festival in the district, police said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
According to the police, Aloshi has been named the first accused, while two or more members of the temple advisory committee have also been charged.<\/p>\n
The FIR, filed by the Kadakkal police, invokes Sections 3, 5, 6, and 7 of the Religious Institutions (Prevention of Misuse) Act.<\/p>\n
The controversy arose during the Kadakkal Temple festival on March 10 when Aloshi performed “revolutionary songs”, including one about the late CPI(M) worker Puthukudi Pushpan, a survivor of the 1994 Koothuparamba police firing.<\/p>\n
During the programme, the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) and CPI(M) flags and symbols were displayed in the background, prompting legal action.<\/p>\n
Police stated that displaying DYFI and CPI(M) flags and symbols, along with singing “revolutionary songs”, violated rules prohibiting the use of political symbols and ideologies in temple festivals.<\/p>\n
According to the FIR, the first accused, Aloshi, chanted slogans such as “Inquilab Zindabad, DYFI Zindabad, and CPI(M) Zindabad,” while the other accused facilitated the act.<\/p>\n
After the incident sparked controversy, with severe criticism from the Congress-led UDF and the TDB ordering a vigilance probe, Adams stated that he did not choose the song but sang it upon the audience’s request.<\/p>\n
